Between the holidays and the spring thaw stretches a period of dark nights and cold days that may be the best reading time of the year. You can make it even better by taking part in Great River Regional Library’s Winter Reading Program.
The program begins at all 32 library locations Thurs., Jan. 2 and ends Sat., Feb. 22. The program is for adults and teens in sixth-grade or older. Its theme is “Make Tracks to Your Library.”
By completing and turning in a drawing slip after reading five books during the program, participants are included in prize drawings for mugs, calendars and grand prize gift cards. There are no reading restrictions. Adults are encouraged to enjoy fiction, non-fiction books or audiobooks of their choice, and voracious readers can turn in multiple slips to increase their chance of winning.
Winter reading will also be encouraged by community read events featuring To Kill A Mockingbird, author talks, book clubs and other events at many GRRL locations. Check the Events page at www.griver.org, or pick up an Event Guide at your local library for more information.
